There are 102 historically Black colleges and 253 Catholic colleges in the United States, yet only one is both Black and Catholic. That distinction belongs to Xavier University of Louisiana, which strives to combine the best attributes of both its faith and its culture.
Located in New Orleans, the small liberal arts college dates back to 1915, when St. Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament founded the coeducational secondary school from which it evolved.
St. Katharine, supported by the interest of a substantial inheritance from her father, banker-financier
Francis Drexel, founded and staffed many institutions throughout the U.S. in an effort to help educate
Native Americans and Blacks.
Aware of the serious lack of Catholic-oriented education available to young Blacks in the South,
St. Katharine came to New Orleans and established a high school on the site previously occupied by
Southern University. A Normal School, offering one of the few career fields (teaching) open to Blacks at the time, was added two years later. In 1925, Xavier University became a reality when the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences was established. The first degrees were awarded three years later. In 1927, a
College of Pharmacy was opened.
Recognizing the University’s need for a separate identity and room to expand, St. Katharine bought a tract of undeveloped land for a campus on the corner of Palmetto and Pine Streets in 1929. Construction of the
U-shaped, gothic administration building (now a historical New Orleans landmark) was completed in
1933.
Through the years, as needs dictated, the campus gradually expanded, with the 1937 addition of a library
(which now houses the Music Department), the gymnasium (1937), St. Michael’s men’s dormitory
(1955), the Student Center (1962), St. Joseph’s (1965) and Katharine Drexel (1969) women’s dormitories, the House of Studies (1967), the College of Pharmacy (1970), the Norman C. Francis Academic Science
Complex (1988), the new Library Resource Center and College of Pharmacy addition (1993), and
St. Peter Claver women’s dormitory (1994). Xavier South, a multi-story office building was purchased in
1990. The Living Learning Center, a co-ed residence hall for upperclassmen and the Norman C. Francis science complex addition were completed in 1998. A new University Center, along with an additional dormitory for upperclassmen (St. Martin de Porres hall) were opened in 2003. An addition to the
Pharmacy building, the Qatar Pavilion, was completed in the fall 2010. The old Student Center was demolished to make way for the new St. Katharine Drexel chapel completed in 2012. With funding available to replace the “Barn” – the center of athletic competitions for many years - a new 4,000 seat
Convocation Center and Annex were also completed in 2012.
In October 2000, Pope John Paul II approved Blessed Katharine Drexel’s canonization. St. Katharine
Drexel is only the second American-born saint and the only one to have founded a university in the history of the Catholic Church.
The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament remain a vital presence on campus today, providing much-needed staffing and some financial assistance; but today a Board of Trustees governs Xavier. Xavier’s president,
Dr. Norman C. Francis, himself a Xavier graduate, is a nationally recognized leader in higher education.
Even with its special mission to serve the Black, Catholic community, Xavier’s doors have always been open to qualified students of any race or creed. In fact today, more than 70 percent of Xavier’s students are of other religious affiliations, and 31 percent are of other races.

The Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy was established in 1927, only two years after the University opened its doors under the visionary leadership of Saint Katharine Drexel.
The College of Pharmacy was organized as the result of a carefully considered idea of providing education and training for Pharmacy practice to young black men and women for whom this education was difficult to obtain. In addition to building a strong foundation in the sciences, a particular emphasis was placed on character building through community involvement.
Despite modest beginnings with only two part-time teachers plus a permanent dean beginning in 1927, the College of Pharmacy graduated its first class of eight (8) students in the spring of 1930 with the
Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.) degree. By 1932 the faculty had grown to three full-time instructors, and the three-year program was superseded by a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy.
Graduates received this degree through an additional year of study beyond the Ph.G. degree. In 1960 the
B.S. degree in Pharmacy became mandatory. By 1964, the program had evolved into the requirements of two years of pre-pharmacy and three years of professional studies. In the fall of 1991, Xavier initiated its entry-level Pharm.D. degree program requiring two years of pre-pharmacy and four years of professional studies.
Over the past 87 years, the College of Pharmacy has grown under the leadership of eight deans and one interim dean. The strength of the program is supported through a pharmacy faculty that represent a diverse background of disciplines and expertise. Faculty members provide students with the opportunity to explore interests and test ideas in both traditional and non-traditional roles of pharmacy practice and research.
The College of Pharmacy is physically located on the beautiful campus of Xavier University, not far from downtown New Orleans. In 1993, the three–story, 24,000 square foot facility was expanded by the addition of 30,000 square feet that included additional state-of-the-art modular laboratory facilities and office space for the pharmacy faculty.
Prior to the landfall of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the University had identified as one of its top priorities a new state-of-the-art pharmacy building to meet the College’s growing needs and to enhance the experiences and opportunities afforded to our students and faculty. Through a generous gift of $12.5 million from the country of Qatar this project has come to fruition. The new Pharmacy Complex encompasses an additional 66,000 square feet that will be coupled with major renovations to the existing pharmacy facility to include a vivarium, new faculty and staff offices, research, teaching, and practice laboratories, additional classroom spaces specifically for student use, and a home for the Center for
Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education.
Xavier’s College of Pharmacy is a leader in the numbers of pharmacy degrees awarded to African
Americans. From its first class of eight graduating pharmacy students in 1930, to the class of 2014 in which 154 students received the Doctor of Pharmacy degree, Xavier’s graduates serve with distinction in communities throughout this nation and around the world. Its graduates continue to excel in areas that include traditional community and hospital pharmacy practices, ambulatory care, nuclear pharmacy, home infusion, industry, academia, research and professional organization management.

Audit
A, B, C, and P grades are passing grades. A “D” grade is not acceptable as a passing grade.
All grades are used in the calculation of the GPA. A grade of “I” (incomplete) becomes an
“F” unless changed before the end of the sixth week of the semester following the one in which it was incurred. Unless a prior waiver is granted, a student who receives an “I” at the end of the spring semester should complete the work before the end of the first summer session. Students with “W$” for all courses in a semester must petition for readmission through the Registrar’s Office. Students who have not satisfied their financial obligations to the university are prohibited from taking final examinations and will receive a W$. Please refer to the University Catalog (2014 – 2016) for details .
B. Grade Point Average
All courses taken in the four-year professional curriculum are included in the calculation of the pharmacy grade point average. Courses taken prior to admission to the College of
Pharmacy (COP), as well as those completed during summer school at other colleges, will not be included in the GPA calculation.
C. Procedure to withdraw from a course
Withdrawal from any course must be executed through a proper change of schedule
(add/drop) form. Withdrawal must be completed before the date designated on the official
University Academic Calendar. If the student withdraws before the official withdrawal deadline, as indicated in the university academic calendar, the grade assigned will be “W”.
After this date, withdrawal from a course (other than withdrawal from the University) cannot be made except in the most extreme circumstances and then only with the written approval of the Dean of the College. A student who withdraws unofficially from a class at any time automatically receives an “F” for that class.
After a student picks up an add/drop form and indicates the course(s) to be dropped, the following must be done:
1.
The instructor(s) must sign and take the appropriate copy.
2.
The advisor must sign and take the appropriate copy.
3.
The student must take the remaining copies to the cashier and pay the required fee.
4.
The student must return the add/drop form and receipt to the Registrar’s Office.
9

Complete withdrawal from the University must be initiated in the Registrar’s Office. The last day to officially withdraw from the University is posted on the University Academic
Calendar. Students who want to return must submit their application for readmission to the
Office of Student Affairs. The form is available on the College’s webpage under the
“Currents Students” link.
Students who completed the pre-pharmacy program at Xavier University, and who withdraw or are dismissed from the College of Pharmacy, may petition for return to the College of Arts and Sciences under a new major.
D. Pass/Fail Grade
The pass/fail grades are applicable to courses in the Professional Experience Program (PEP) and other selected courses under departmental prerogative. Under the pass/fail grading system, a student will receive a pass grade if his or her work in the course is determined to meet a professional level of competence. The course(s) passed under the pass/fail system will be counted towards total hours needed for graduation, but will not be computed in the cumulative grade point average.
Credit for grades from courses transferred from a college or university other than Xavier shall be designated by the letters “TR” with no points computed in the Xavier University or COP
GPA. No transfer credit will be given for grades of “C-“ or “D”.
E. College of Pharmacy Remediation Policy
Policy
Under this policy faculty develop a course specific remediation process which is described in the syllabi of all professional pharmacy courses. The opportunity for remediation must be offered to any student who makes less than 70% on a formative assessment (i.e. hourly exam) and who voluntarily agrees to complete the prescribed remediation activities. Remediation of final exams is not an option available under this policy.
II.
POLICY ON PROMOTION OF PHARMACY STUDENTS

III. ACADEMIC STANDING AND ADVISING
Academic Standing Policy - College of Pharmacy
Revised Academic Standing Guidelines (starting with class entering Fall 2007)
Academic Standing Categories
The academic status of COP students is categorized as one of the following:
a. Good Standing
b. Academic Probation
c. Academic Dismissal
Good Standing
A student is in “good standing” unless on academic probation or academically dismissed.
Academic Probation
Academic probation is defined as:
Students on academic probation have either a cumulative or semester GPA of less than 2.00 in the Fall or Spring semester OR two or more D’s or an F in any session.
Academic Dismissal
A student will be academically dismissed from the College of Pharmacy if any of the following situations occur:
1.
A student earns three or more F’s during enrollment in the College of Pharmacy.
2.
A student qualifies for probation while already on probation.
3.
A student earns a third academic probation during his or her enrollment in the P1-P3 years.
4.
A student fails to pass a course on the second attempt.
5.
A student is found to be ineligible to begin the APPE rotations at the end of eight regular semesters (i.e. summer sessions are not counted as regular semesters).
6.
A student earns more than one “F” while on APPE rotations.
Note: Students dismissed at the end of the Spring semester will not be permitted to enroll in summer school.
Placement on academic probation or dismissal
An “Academic Warning” will be given to a student with a “D” or “F” at mid-term who is not on probation. Academic warnings can be issued any number of times. If the final grade is a
“C” or better then there is no change from “Good Standing” status. However, if the performance on the final grade report is not improved, and the student meets the criteria outlined above, the student will be placed on “Academic Probation”.
11

An “Academic Dismissal Warning” will be given to a student with a “D” or “F” at mid-term while on probation. If the performance on the final grade report is not improved, and the student meets the criteria for academic dismissal, the student will be “Academically
Dismissed”.
Stipulations of the academic probation period (P1-P3)
1. Students on academic probation will only be allowed to register for 15 hours per semester. A maximum of 16 hours is allowed to accommodate the scheduling of a lab if needed.
2. Any student who is placed on academic probation must enroll in the Academic
Enrichment Program (AEP) and sign the AEP Student Agreement (see appendix).
3. A Probationary Action Plan must be submitted by the student to his/her advisor for approval. Should a student fail to submit such an approved plan prior to the first day of classes in the semester during which the student is on probation, he or she will be deregistered from ALL courses for the semester.
A copy of the plan must be forwarded by the advisor to the Academic Standing
Committee. At a minimum this plan must stipulate that the student complete the specified pharmacy coursework with a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher and receive no D’s or F’s in a required pharmacy course. The plan may prescribe particular courses that must be retaken and recommend particular actions prior to removal of probationary status. This plan must be submitted each semester until the student is off probation.
4.
Any student who is on probation cannot represent the College of Pharmacy in any official capacity (e.g. class officer or officer in a student organization).
5.
Any student on academic probation can only withdraw from a required course with the written permission of their academic advisor and the Associate Dean for Administration and Academic Support.
Academic standing during the P4 year
Regardless of the reasons for earning an “F” (e.g. academic versus disciplinary) during enrollment in APPE rotations, the first “F” will result in a written warning of dismissal from the College, while a second “F” will result in automatic dismissal.
Removal of probationary status
Once on probation a student will return to “Good Standing” when he or she is determined to have remediated the academic deficiency which formed the basis for probation. The decision to remove probation will be officially communicated to the University Registrar’s Office by the College of Pharmacy Office of Student Affairs.
Requests for Readmission
In general, a student may seek readmission to the College of Pharmacy via the College’s
Academic Standing Committee and/or the University Academic Standing Committee. If a student is denied by both committees, the student must reapply as a new P1 student.
12

Any student who has been dismissed from the College of Pharmacy must complete: 1) an
Application for Readmission ; 2) a Request for Readmission Form ; and 3) a Probationary
Action Plan . These forms are available on the College’s webpage under the “Current
Students” link.
The COP Academic Standing Committee meets at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters, and after the final Summer session to review requests for readmission. All students must submit the aforementioned documents to the Office of Student Affairs in the College of
Pharmacy at least two weeks prior to the end of the semester/session. Any student who was not in good academic standing upon leaving the College of Pharmacy must also schedule an appointment with the Counseling Center once an application for readmission has been submitted.
If a student is denied readmission by the College of Pharmacy Academic Standing
Committee, the student has a right to submit a written appeal of the decision to the University
Academic Standing Committee .
The appeal must be received in the Registrar’s Office by July
1st.
The University Appeal form can be found on the College’s webpage under the “Current
Students” link.
If the appeal is denied by the University Academic Standing Committee, the student cannot appeal again to the College of Pharmacy.
Students who are not successful in the appeals process have the right to reapply to the
College of Pharmacy as a P1 student. If the student is admitted, the Academic Standing
Committee will evaluate the student’s transcript to determine which College of Pharmacy courses will be accepted. The student will be required to retake any course(s) that are not approved by the committee. The student will be placed on academic probation and will be required to take the applicable full course load and perform any additional work prescribed in the Probationary Action Plan. A readmitted student earning a D or F in ANY pharmacy courses, taken on- or off-campus, will be dismissed from the College.
A student who is readmitted may elect to defer their re-enrollment as a continuing student for up to three regular semesters.
IV.
Technical Standards for Admission, Promotion, and Graduation
The Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy (XUCOP) is committed to equal access for all qualified applicants and students. Minimal Technical Standards for Admission, Promotion, and Graduation state the expectations of all College of Pharmacy students.
The Standards provide information to allow a candidate to make an informed decision for application and are a guide to accommodation of students with disabilities. Academic adjustments can be made for disabilities in some instances, but a student must be able to perform in an independent manner with reasonable accommodations.

Introduction
Professionals, as described in the Oath of a Pharmacist , devote their lives to a significant social value.
Pharmacy is a learned profession requiring individuals to dedicate themselves voluntarily to acquiring and maintaining exceptional knowledge and skills in order to provide pharmaceutical care in an ethical context. Pharmacists must exhibit moral and ethical conduct in their daily interactions with patients and other healthcare providers. Pharmacists dedicate themselves to excellence in their knowledge, skill, and caring because they adhere to high moral and ethical standards. This enables them to maintain a covenantal relationship with society.
Professionalism requires constant attention. The seeds of professionalism are sown when students begin their preparation for pharmacy school, are cultivated and nurtured in pharmacy school, and are brought to fruition and maintained during their careers as pharmacists. Becoming a professional means more than just mastering the science of pharmacy.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The Code of Conduct is intended to provide guidelines and expectations for behavior during the didactic and experiential components of the curriculum. For that reason, the Code of Conduct is an educational tool to guide all members of the College of Pharmacy in their professional development.
It is applicable to all members of the College in all activities associated with the College of
Pharmacy. The Code of Conduct has several intentions:
•
To promote and protect an environment of learning for all members of the College of Pharmacy both inside and outside the classroom,
•
To assist in improving and maintaining the image of the College of Pharmacy as a premier institution of learning, and
•
To foster character development by establishing a standard of principled behavior and professional decision-making.
General Responsibilities of the Members of the College of Pharmacy
Its members determine the culture of the College of Pharmacy. Therefore, all members of the College of Pharmacy have responsibilities to uphold and protect the learning environment, professional education, and integrity of a degree awarded from the Xavier University of Louisiana College of
Pharmacy. To that end, all members of the College of Pharmacy should be familiar with the expectations listed in the Code of Conduct, actively promote and maintain professional conduct, and abide by all academic and behavior standards at Xavier University of Louisiana and the College of
Pharmacy.
In addition, all activities associated with the College of Pharmacy should have clear and reasonable expectations regarding the conduct of participants. When appropriate, written expectations should be provided with advanced notice. Examples of situations that could have further written expectations for conduct include, but are not limited to, course syllabi, local, state and national meeting information, student organization meetings and functions, college events (dinners, programs, events, etc.), and any other activity where patient or professional contact is possible.
23

I. Academic Standards
The pursuit of knowledge can proceed only when scholars take responsibility and receive credit for their work. Recognition of individual contributions to knowledge and of the intellectual property of others builds trust within the University and encourages the sharing of ideas that is essential to scholarship. Similarly, the educational process requires that individuals present their own ideas and insights for evaluation, critique, and eventual reformulation. Presentation of others’ work as one’s own is not only intellectual dishonesty, but also undermines the educational process.
A. Student Expectations
1. Observe and comply with the following exam policies: a. A faculty member may deny admission to the examination to any student who arrives late and under no circumstances will he/she permit a student to take the examination if he/she arrives after another student has already left the examination site. Students are expected to comply with the directions given by the instructor as to seating arrangements, etc. b. Final examinations are not returned to students. Thus possession of such constitutes having stolen materials. Possession of copies of old final examinations is cheating. Any student caught with these exam(s) shall be referred to the Dean of the College of Pharmacy for disciplinary actions and probable dismissal. c. No study material and/or resources (i.e. calculators) are to be brought into the examination room without the permission of the instructor. If the student is found to have done so, it will be assumed that he/she intended to use the materials unlawfully and will be penalized accordingly with an “F” for the course. d. A student who communicates with anyone during the course of the test or an examination, without the permission of the instructor, will be immediately dismissed from the examination site and given the grade of “F” for the course.
Such communication includes attempts to read from another student’s paper.
2. e. If a student’s examination paper, laboratory report, term paper or other written assignment gives evidence of not being completely his/her own work
(plagiarism), he/she will be given an “F” for the course. f. If an online exam is given, the student must report to the assigned site to take the exam. If the student takes the exam at an unassigned site this will be considered cheating and the student will receive a grade of “F” for the course.
Do not engage in activities that can be deemed to be unethical behavior.
Violations of the Honor Code include, but are not limited to, the following acts that violate academic integrity:
24

a. Cheating - cheating is the fraudulent or dishonest presentation of work.
Cheating includes but is not limited to:
• the use or attempted use of unauthorized aids in examinations or other academic exercises submitted for evaluation;
• fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation of data, results, sources for papers or reports, or in clinical practice, as in reporting experiments, measurements, statistical analyses, tests, or other studies never performed; manipulating or altering data or other manifestations of research to achieve a desired result; selective reporting, including the deliberate suppression of conflicting or unwanted data;
• falsification of papers, official records, or reports;
• actions that destroy or alter the work of another student;
• unauthorized cooperation in completing assignments or during an examination;
• the use of purchased or otherwise acquired essays or term papers, or of purchased preparatory research for such papers;
• submission of the same written work in more than one course without prior written approval from the instructors involved;
• dishonesty in requests for make-up exams, for extensions of deadlines for submitting papers, and in any other matter related to a course or experiential rotations/training;
• copying another student’s answers during a test, quiz, or assignment;
• using another student’s data or results in a lab or experiment;
• use of any device, electronic, or otherwise, to transmit, receive, share, or store information during an exam, quiz, or assignment;
• communication of any kind, verbal, written, or otherwise to any person besides the instructor or proctor during an exam or quiz;
• possession of a final exam given at Xavier at any time;
• allowing another student to represent your work as his/her own, including copying your answers during an exam, quiz, or assignment;
• failing to report, under guarantee of anonymity, cheating, observed in any of the categories listed above. b. Plagiarism - Plagiarism is the act of taking the words, ideas, data, illustrations, or statements of another person or source, and presenting them as one’s own. Each student is responsible for learning and using proper methods of paraphrasing and footnoting, quotation, and other forms of citation, to ensure that the original author, speaker, illustrator, or source of the material used is clearly acknowledged. c . Other breaches of academic integrity include:
• the misrepresentation of one’s own or another’s identity for academic purposes;
• the misrepresentation of material facts or circumstances in relation to examinations, papers, or other evaluation activities;
• the sale or provision of papers, essays, or research for fraudulent use;
• the alteration or falsification of official University records;
• the unauthorized use of University academic facilities or equipment, including computer accounts and files;
25

B.
3.
• the unauthorized recording, sale, purchase, or use of academic lectures, academic computer software, or other instructional materials;
• the expropriation or abuse of ideas and preliminary data obtained during the process of editorial or peer review work submitted to journals, or in proposals for funding by agency panels or by internal University committees;
• the expropriation and/or inappropriate dissemination of personallyidentifying human subject data; and/or
• the unauthorized removal, mutilation, or deliberate concealment of materials in University libraries, media, or academic resource centers. d.
Collusion - collusion is defined as assistance or an attempt to assist another student in an act of academic dishonesty. Collusion is distinct from collaborative learning, which may be a valuable component of students’ scholarly development. Acceptable levels of collaboration vary in different courses, and students are expected to consult with their instructor if they are uncertain whether their cooperative activities are acceptable.
Maintain academic integrity in the COP by observing the following: a. Students who become aware of a violation of academic integrity by a fellow student should respond in one of the following ways:
•
Students may discuss their concerns with the student whom they suspect of a violation. Direct contact by another student may be the best means of resolving the problem. Repeated demonstration of student concern for academic integrity will in the long run build a peer-regulated community.
•
The student may also discuss the matter with the instructor.
•
If the incident is a major violation or part of a repeated pattern of violations, students should bring their concerns to the attention of the instructor, or to the appropriate division chairperson or associate dean.
Suspected violations by students reported to members of the faculty or to an associate dean will be handled according to the grievance procedures set forth by the College.
•
Students who have serious concern that a faculty member is not living up to his or her responsibility to safeguard and promote academic integrity should speak with the faculty member directly, or should bring their concern to the attention of the division chairperson or associate dean.
Promoting Academic Integrity: Roles of Faculty and Administrators
1. Faculty Roles in Fostering Academic Integrity a. Faculty members should provide students with a positive environment for learning and intellectual growth and, by their words and actions, promote conditions that foster academic integrity. b. Faculty should be concerned about the impact of their behavior on students.
Students are sensitive to messages communicated in informal discussions and in casual faculty remarks about personal decisions and value judgments. Students are perhaps most sensitive to how responsibly faculty members fulfill their
26

obligations to them in careful preparation of classes, in the serious evaluation of student achievement, and in their genuine interest in and availability to students. c. Faculty should promote academic integrity in the following specific ways:
•
At the beginning of each course, instructors should discuss academic integrity in order to promote an ongoing dialogue about academic integrity and to set the tone and establish guidelines for academic integrity within the context of the course, e.g., the extent to which collaborative work is appropriate. Where relevant, instructors should discuss why, when, and how students must cite sources in their written work.
•
Instructors should provide students with a written syllabus that states course requirements and, when available, examination dates and times.
•
Instructors are encouraged to prepare new examinations and assignments where appropriate each semester in order to ensure that no student obtains an unfair advantage over his or her classmates by reviewing exams or assignments from prior semesters. If previous examinations are available to some students, faculty members should insure that all students in the course have similar access. Course examinations should be designed to minimize the possibility of cheating, and course paper assignments should be designed to minimize the possibility of plagiarism.
•
A minimum of 2 proctors per 100 students should be present at all examinations, including the final examination, and should provide students with an environment that encourages honesty and prevents dishonesty.
•
If make-up exams are given, they should be different from the original exam and should be given at the same time for those students needing a make-up exam.
•
If a student is found cheating the faculty member must take the appropriate action immediately.
•
Faculty should be careful to respect students’ intellectual property and the confidentiality of student academic information.
•
Assignment of grades, which is the sole responsibility of the instructor, should be awarded in a manner fair to all students.
2. Academic Deans Role in Fostering Academic Integrity
Academic deans have overall responsibility for academic integrity within the
College. In particular, deans’ responsibilities include the following:
• promoting an environment where academic integrity is a priority for both students and faculty,
• ensuring that students who are honest are not placed at an unfair disadvantage, and
• establishing procedures to adjudicate charges of academic dishonesty and to protect the rights of all parties.
27

II. Professional Behavior Standards
The Honor Code is also concerned with social responsibility and assumes that all students are responsible for themselves, other students, and their guests on Xavier’s campus. This code may also apply to student behavior off-campus (see University Handbook). Students are expected to comply with:
A.
B.
C.
Existing University and College policies
Directions of University and College authorities while performing their duties
All published University and College policies, rules and regulations while on University

SANCTIONS (modified and adapted from the University Student Handbook, “Code of Conduct” section)
Depending on the circumstances of the violation, the university may assume jurisdiction in lieu of the Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct (BPEC) of the College of Pharmacy – see
University Handbook.
The following sanctions or other sanctions appropriate to the circumstances of a given case may be imposed, independently, or in combination, for violations of standards of conduct. The present demeanor and disciplinary record of the offender, the nature of the offense, and the extent of harm bear on the severity of the sanction.
A. Academic Misconduct
Any student who engages in cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or other breaches of academic integrity will automatically receive a grade of “F” for the course. Depending on the circumstances, other academic or disciplinary actions may be taken.
B. Professional Behavior Violation
1 . Disciplinary Censure
Disciplinary censure will occur if the student is involved in an incident that is considered to be minor and/or spontaneous in nature (no planning or premeditation). The reprimand is notification to the student that s/he has been found responsible for a violation and that any other violations of university regulations for which the student is found responsible will result in more serious sanctions. A censure remains in effect for one calendar year. If there are no additional violations during that time, the censure is not considered in subsequent violations.
2.
Disciplinary Probation
Disciplinary probation is a probationary status, imposed for a specific time period, during which a student is expected to show a positive change in behavior.
The student must make every effort to modify his/her behavior in order to remain in good standing at Xavier University.

Disciplinary Suspension
Disciplinary suspension is defined as the removal of a student from the university, which permits the student to apply for readmission at the end of the sanction imposed. Suspension may be for a term, not to exceed one year or conditional, indicating that readmission is contingent on the fulfillment of certain conditions by the student. While a student is suspended, s/he is not to return to the campus, programs, facilities and activities of the university without written permission from the Dean of the College of Pharmacy. If the student returns to the campus without written permission during the time period for which s/he has been suspended, his/her eligibility to return to Xavier in the future may be jeopardized. While a student is suspended for Academic Honor Code violations, s/he may not enroll in classes either on or off campus. It is expected that s/he will make every effort to rectify any previous misconduct by displaying irreproachable behavior in the future.
Educational/Developmental Sanctions
The Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct may choose to assign an educational project or task to be completed. The assigned task or project may be imposed to educate or raise the student’s level of awareness regarding a specific issue. Some examples of these sanctions include papers, presentations, book reports, and program development and implementation.
Emergency or Interim Suspension
This suspension shall be invoked when university officials are faced with an immediate situation where the facts of which indicate that a student’s continued presence on campus constitutes a clear and convincing danger to the normal functions of the university, to property, to others, or to the student.
Fines
Students may be required to pay a reasonable sum of money as a sanction for behavior that results in damage, destruction, or loss of property belonging to the
University and others or in increased maintenance or repair costs for the
University or others. Proof of payment shall be required to clear the student’s disciplinary record.
Loss of University Housing
The BPEC, the Administrative hearing officers or Judicial Hearing Boards of the university may mandate that a student be removed from residing in universityowned or leased housing as part of an imposed sanction. Rent for the remainder of the student’s housing contract period will not be refunded.
Loss of Financial Aid
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 state that any student who has been convicted of any offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance shall not be eligible to receive any grant, loan or work assistance under this title during the period beginning on the date of such conviction and ending after the interval specified by law.
31

9.
Official Warning
An official warning will be given if an incident is considered to be mild in nature and outcome but one that could have negatively influenced/affected the community. The incident could have been a spontaneous action or a planned event. The official warning is notification to the student(s) that s/he has been found responsible for a violation and that any other violations will result in more serious sanctions. Official warning is a statement to the student(s) that s/he needs to reevaluate his/her behavior before serious action is taken.
10.
Preliminary Suspension
Preliminary suspension is a unique probationary status, in which the student is expected to immediately exhibit a marked improvement in behavior or face suspension from the university. The sanction of disciplinary suspension was considered for the student but was not deemed necessary. If the student does not meet all special stipulations associated with the preliminary suspension or if s/he is found responsible of violating any other rule, regulation, policy or law; s/he may be sanctioned with disciplinary suspension from the university. If the student does not complete any stipulation of the preliminary suspension by the assigned date, his/her grades may not be released until the sanctions are complete.
11.
Permanent Separation (Expulsion)
The student is permanently separated from the university. A permanent notation will be made on the official transcript. The student is also barred from University activities, services, facilities and grounds. The Dean of the College of Pharmacy reviews all recommendations for expulsion. Expulsion may be approved, altered, deferred, or withheld at the discretion of the Dean of the College of Pharmacy.
12.
Referral for Counseling
If, in the opinion of the Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct, a student involved in a disciplinary situation will best be served by counseling, the student may be required to attend counseling sessions with a member of the Xavier
University Counseling Staff or another professional off campus. The student will be responsible for all fees incurred by contracting the services of an independent professional.
13.
Residence Hall Probation
An individual student, or group of students, may be issued a written notice that further violations would constitute grounds for loss of the privilege of residing in
University housing. Appropriate residence life officials will be notified.
14.
Residence Hall Relocation
This is a recommendation to the Dean of Students for Residence Life that the student or group of students be required to move to another room, residence hall, or residence area because of his/her lack of willingness to live within the rules of his/her present residence hall, or uphold university policies. For individuals, this sanction will be recommended in situations where the Board of Professional and
Ethical Conduct feels the student would benefit from a change of environment in order to conform to acceptable group living standards. It will also be recommended if deemed necessary for the safety of the resident or others.
32

Level of participation in varsity sports will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct may impose other sanctions deemed appropriate.
The Dean may issue a Statement of Concern to a student or organization for a minor violation occurring in class or otherwise observed and referred by a member of the campus community.
Such statement shall be placed in the student/organization’s official file and may be a basis for further disciplinary action. All sanctions are subject to review by the Dean of the College of
Pharmacy.
IV. Procedure to Report Violations of Academic Integrity and Professional Behavior
The College of Pharmacy Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct (BPEC) reviews violations of academic integrity and professional behavior. The Board consists of nine people to include four students, three faculty members, and two administrators.
A. Faculty or students observing a violation of academic integrity or professional behavior should complete the Professional Violations Form (see appendix) and submit it to the
Office of Student Affairs.
B.
C.
If the violation is determined to be one of professional behavior misconduct, the report will be submitted to the office of the Vice President for Student Services for the necessary actions. If the violation is determined to be one of academic integrity, the
Office of Student Affairs will contact the student(s) in question regarding the violation.
The student(s) will be required to submit in writing an account of the incident. If the student admits to committing the violation, the BPEC will be convened to determine the necessary sanctions.
D. If the student does not admit to committing the violation, the BPEC will be convened to conduct a hearing and determine the necessary sanctions.
NOTE: The BPEC will only conduct hearings for academic integrity violations. The university will oversee all hearings for violations of professional behavior.
V. Appeals
A student who wishes to appeal the actions of the Board of Professional and Ethical Conduct must submit the appeal in writing to the Office of the Dean. A student who wishes to appeal the actions of the University Hearing Committee must do so in writing to the Vice President of
Student Services. All appeals must be submitted within 48 hours of official notification of the

(modified and adapted from the University Student Handbook)
As a Catholic institution, Xavier University seeks to foster an environment where student rights are valued and recognized, balanced with student responsibility in accordance with the policies, procedures and guidelines of the university. The act of voluntary registration at Xavier
University by each student, for courses and/or housing, indicates his/her acceptance of the high traditions and principles of the institution and its requirements for conduct in harmony with
Christian, moral and ethical standards. Students are expected and required to abide by local, state and federal laws. Xavier expects all students to conduct themselves as mature and responsible members of the academic community, as well as the local community, presenting their individual work, respecting themselves, the rights of others, and refraining from any conduct which obstructs the work of the university or to be injurious to the welfare of the
University or any of its members. Students have right to a free will to learn, to exercise inquiry, to privacy and confidentiality of records under FERPA, HIPPA and ADA, and to voice protest or grievance. While this expression is viewed as essential to student development, it is required that students display responsible actions and maintain an orderly educational environment demonstrating respect for self and others.
Complaints Alleging Sexual Harassment or Discrimination
It is the policy of XULA that harassment or discrimination of any form is prohibited and will not be tolerated. Each student, faculty and staff member has a responsibility to maintain a collegial environment that is free of any form of harassment or discrimination. For more information, please contact the Director of Human Resources, at 504-520-7537.
Release of Information/Privacy of Education Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) also known as the Buckley
Amendment, is a set of federal regulations established in 1974 that makes four specific guarantees to college students regarding the privacy of their education records. They are:
1) the right to inspect and review education records
2) the right to seek to amend education records
3) the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from those education records
4) the right to file a complaint against any institution for the alleged violation of these FERPA rights
These guarantees are made directly to currently and formerly enrolled students, regardless of their age or status in regard to parental dependency, acknowledging that young people who are already 18 years of age are considered responsible adults. Parents, guardians and others do not have a right to access student records of adult children without their signed, written consent to do so.
39

Student and Parent Rights Relating to Educational Records
Students have a right to know about the purposes, content and location of information kept as part of their educational records. Students have a right to gain access to and challenge the content of their educational records. Students have a right to expect that information in their educational records will be kept confidential, disclosed only with their permission or under provisions of the law. Students have a right to permit or prevent disclosure of certain information in their educational records. Parents have the right to expect confidentiality of certain information about them in student records.
Students and Parents can locate the notification of the policy regarding privacy and protection of student records and parent information in the policy section of the University Student Handbook in its entirety or online at http://www.xula.edu/student-handbook/stuhand.php
.
FERPA is administered by the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO), part of the US
Department of Education in Washington, DC. It is the FPCO which interprets and resolves complaints regarding FERPA and the FERPA rights of students. The Department of Education provides more information for students, institutions, and even parents on its website – www.ed.gov
.
Student Governance
All full-time and part-time students are automatically members of the Pharmacy Student
Association (PSA). The PSA, under the umbrella of the Xavier University Student Government
Association (SGA), provides students experience in the democratic process promoting and assisting in the planning and implementation of student programs and activities. These programs and activities enhance the academic experience and professional development of all students. Students are encouraged to participate in all facets of the institution. PSA serves as a liaison between the students, faculty and College/University administration providing an opportunity for students to serve on College committees and task forces that may establish or influence a wide range of policies, procedures and the general direction of academic and nonacademic programs and services of the College. PSA, as a member of the Student
Government Association, also functions as an avenue through which student concerns/complaints/grievances may be channeled to the administration of the university. The
PSA office is located on the third floor of the Pharmacy School in room 325, you may also call
504-520-5655 or email at psa@xula.edu. The SGA office is located on the second floor of the
University Center, suite 210, you may also call or email at 504-520-7367 or sga@xula.edu.
It is imperative that students become thoroughly familiar with the Academic and Ethical
Policies Handbook and the University Student Handbook in order to avoid jeopardizing their relationship with the College, University, and local community and to fully understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens and members of the University community. A student who violates these general standards of conduct shall be subject to administrative action and disciplinary sanctions in accordance with the Honor Code.
